Regular readers know how much I hate remakes of classic movies, but the worst thing is when they get it all wrong. After seeing this studio publicity shot from “The New Godfather,” I contacted the director to ask what the hell is going on.
“It is the famous scene where the man sleeps with the donkeys.”
No, no, no. The man sleeps with the fishes!
“But I am sure there is a donkey, too.”
Huh-uh. A guy wakes up with a horse head in his bed, but that’s a different scene.
“Maybe he sleeps with the seahorses?”
No, no seahorses. You really screwed up a great movie.
“But wait until you see my version of the iconic Clemenza line, ‘Leave the gun. Take the canoe.’”
Sorry, that’s cannoli.
“Cannoli? Crap! And we spent so much time putting that canoe on top of the car!”

Why do we even need a blog? This picture alone is enough to make me both laugh and think!
